Capitol Hill is one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods to spend time in because it has an amazing vibe about it. In a few descriptors, this neighborhood, to me, is alternative, hip, and crazy.

There are a lot of things to do on Capitol Hill. Here are a few suggestions for those who want to experience some Seattle culture.
In the daytime:
1. Coffee and a newspaper at a coffee house
2. A jog through the neighborhoods
3. Sunbathing at Volunteer Park
4. Lunch on Broadway

At night:
1. Dinner on 15th
2. Drinks on Pike, Pine, or Broadway

5. Catching a performance at Seattle Central College
There's a lot to find up on Capitol Hill!
Today, we headed out to Capitol Hill mainly to check out the books at Twice Sold Tales, which is one of our favorite secondhand bookshops in Seattle. Parking was not that bad to obtain. We parked along one of the neighborhoods right off of Broadway. Then we had some ramen at Samurai Noodles.
